Plan is to run this when populating Annex.reposizes on demand.
So Annex.reposizes will be up-to-date with the journal, including
crucially journal entries for private repositories. But also
anything that has been written to the journal by another process,
especially if the process was ran with annex.alwayscommit=false.
From there, Annex.reposizes can be kept up to date with changes made
by the running process.
This will be used to prime the RepoSizes database, which will always
contain values that correpond to information in the git-annex branch, so
without anything from journal files.
Factored out overJournalFileContents which will later be used to
update Annex.reposizes to include information from journal files.
This will be partitcularly important to support private UUIDs which only
ever get to journal files and not to the branch.
git-annex info was displaying a message that didn't make sense in
context.
In calcRepoSizes, it seems better to return the information from the
git-annex branch, rather than giving up. Especially since balanced
preferred content uses it, and we can't just give up evaluating a
preferred content expression if git-annex is to be usable in such a
readonly repo.
Commit 6d7ecd9e5d nobly wanted git-annex
to behave the same with such unmerged branches as it does when it can
merge them. But for the purposes of preferred content, it seems to me
there's a sense that such an unmerged branch is the same as a remote we
have not pulled from. The balanced preferred content will either way
operate under outdated information, and so make not the best choices.
Avoid conversion from ByteString to String for urls that will just be
converted right back to ByteString to go into the database.
Also setTempUrl is not used by importfeed, so avoid checking for temp
urls in this code path.
This benchmarks as only a small improvement. From 2.99s to 2.78s
when populating a database with 33k urls.
Note that it does not seem worth replacing URLString with URLByteString
generally, because the ways urls are used all entails either parseURI,
which takes a string, or passing a parameter to eg curl, which also is
currently a string.

importfeed: Use caching database to avoid needing to list urls on every
run, and avoid using too much memory.
Benchmarking in my podcasts repo, importfeed got 1.42 seconds faster,
and memory use dropped from 203000k to 59408k.
Database.ImportFeed is Database.ContentIdentifier with the serial number
filed off. There is a bit of code duplication I would like to avoid,
particularly recordAnnexBranchTree, and getAnnexBranchTree. But these use
the persistent sqlite tables, so despite the code being the same, they
cannot be factored out.
Since this database includes the contentidentifier metadata, it will be
slightly redundant if a sqlite database is ever added for metadata. I
did consider making such a generic database and using it for this. But,
that would then need importfeed to update both the url database and the
metadata database, which is twice as much work diffing the git-annex
branch trees. Or would entagle updating two databases in a complex way.
So instead it seems better to optimise the database that
importfeed needs, and if the metadata database is used by another command,
use a little more disk space and do a little bit of redundant work to
update it.
